The church is a place of faith and refuge, salvation and hope, support and nurturing. The religion oils the machine, but it's the people--the Reverend, his wife, the deacons and the sisters--who makes sure that it runs. But, the New Light Missionary Baptist Church with church heads the Rev. Joseph Black and his wife Corena Black are different. When it comes to dealing with family, well it's a bit more complicated. The reverend's brother Calvin has encountered a few troubles. Ten Years ago his marriage ended abruptly leaving him to raise his young daughter alone. As questions of his sexuality begin to surface, Rev. Joseph thinks the answer is for his brother to marry a woman from the church, but Corena, begins to think there are other questions to be asked and she finds herself confronting the lengths she'll go to maintain her niece's well-being.
